Abstract (en)

An object of the present invention is to provide a connector having a force multiplying mechanism and applicable also in the case of requiring a large connection force. A connector 10 is provided with a housing 20 connectable with a mating connector 90, a sliding force multiplying mechanism for proceeding with a connecting operation by slide means for moving in a direction intersecting with a connecting direction relative to the housing 20 during the connecting operation with the mating connector 90 and a rotating force multiplying mechanism for proceeding with the connecting operation by rotation means for rotating about a center of rotation relative to the housing 20 during the connecting operation with the mating connector 90. The sliding force multiplying mechanism and the rotating force multiplying mechanism separately operate and are formed on a single lever 40.
